When I was young I used to listen to the radio and thought the blue skies reflected the oceans. The old transistor used to sit on the ledge of the tractor-like weaving loom. The rhythmic sound of my mother’s weaving sounds used to provide the canvas from which echoed those old Bollywood classics, still audible in black and white.
When I was young the world looked so huge and intriguing- that it was both round and flat was confusing. The Tata and Ashok Leyland trucks plying the Phuentsholing-Thimphu road used to mesmerize me. I’d sit in the compound of the Phuentsholing Department of Wireless colony and watch those fascinating machines trudging up the twists and turns in what was known as the “Saat Gumti” (Seven Turns). The helicopters were to die for. And the fighter jet planes just left us dumbfounded and (I’m not gonna mention the trains in Hashimara; they were “The Ultimate Treat!”).
When I was young I was happy and the world seemed a happy place. All the kids in my neighborhood were happy as were the kids in my school. We were happy because we were young and money did not carry a price tag on it and neither was it laden with morality or class.

When I was young it seemed everyone had the same things; nothing less, nothing more and the world outdoors was our playground and everything in it became toys we played with.
When I was young my king was my hero and I wanted to be like him and walk like him and talk like him and play basketball and archery like him.
When I was young Bruce Lee was kicking ass and everyone wanted to do the chop-chops along with the “Nunchuku” and the “Meow”. Then we heard of Pele and Muhammad Ali and Maradona and Superman, together with Michael Jackson’s “Thriller”, Mithun Chakraborty’s “Disco Dancer” and of course, Amitabh Bachchan’s “I’m the perpetual angry young man” movies. It was a phased of epic confusions. I had a tough time figuring out who I really wanted to be: and everything about them was real. Superman could really fly. Pele and Maradona could score goals without kicking a ball. Michael Jackson was a Moon-Walker and Mithun Chakraborty was the one and only Disco Dancer. And Amitabh Bachchan started fighting all kinds of injustice single handedly and could do no wrong. Every time he died I cried. Then came Iron Mike Tyson and I wanted to box.
\Those were tough days. Discovering the magic of the movies made me envious of “Gate Keepers”- with that powerful “Torch Light” and the license to walk in and out of cinema halls at will!
But then I also wanted to become the “Truck Driver” who lived in a house on wheels that was mobile.
Then one day I saw the spinning “Globe” in my father’s office and I wanted to travel the world. Then the old radio played again and I heard a woman tell a story in a beautiful voice. It made me wanna become a “Radio Story Teller”.
When boarding school came, I wrote letters to kill the boredom and decided that that was what I wanted to do- become a “Letter Writer”.

When college came, everything changed. I became a “Dharma Bum” with a passion for Bob Dylan and the Folk-Rock-Blues. With that I discovered “Drugs” and I wanted to become “Jim Morrison”.
I guess I became a bit of everything.
Now that I’m older, I realize I was so much younger and happier then. I’m older and sadder then that now. In the end, when I was young, we didn’t have much of anything but neither did we feel the lack of it for there existed nothing to make comparisons.
Everyone seemed younger and happier when I was young and that has not changed. Many have passed on and crossed over, but the memories linger and they linger with a sweetness that comes from knowing what I now know. That life is ephemeral; it’s really a rainbow and really, who does not smile at a rainbow or for that matter, an Atsara in a Tsechu?

When I was young, the world was fresh. Now that time and gravitas keeps sagging the chin, I guess the challenge is to keep refreshing that look of wonder and bewilderment. In conclusion, if there be such a thing, when I was young I had a wonderful father. Now that I’m a father, I’d like my son to be just like that- be young and enjoy that youthfulness as my father let me; the discovery and the curiosity. For though it killed the cat, don’t forget that satisfaction brought him back!
Now if you see, let them be, for the prodigal child always returns.

***BOOK THIS DESIGN: CUZTOMIZE YOUR MESSAGES--- PERSONALIZE THE CARD AND WISH YOUR PALS-COLLEGUES AND CLIENTS A GLORIOUS YEAR OF THE BLACK WATER DRAGON- AND ITS A MAN!!! BOOK; BUY; AND MAKE SOMEONE HAPPY :)

A BRIEF:

2012 is Year of the Dragon and it will arrive on February 4, 2012. (Note: Chinese New Year Day is on January 23, 2012. The first day of 2012 Chinese Astrology Year is on February 4, 2012.) Many people must be eager to know if they will have better luck in the coming year than previous years. Here, we want to use Chinese Astrology Five Elements (Metal, Water, Wood, Fire and Earth) theory to explain people's fortune in 2012 and foresee what will be happening to them in the year of the Dragon.

According to Chinese Five Element Astrology Calendar, 2012 is the Year of Water Dragon . The color of Water in Five Elements system is related to Black. Therefore we can say 2012 is a Black Dragon, Water Dragon or Black Water Dragon year.

Chinese Astrology is a Balance Theory of Five Elements. Each animal can be converted into Five Elements. Dragon contains Earth, Water and Wood. It's a source of Water and It is also called the Water Dam in Chinese astrology. Since Water of 2012 comes with Dragon. it implied Water from the sky makes a dam overflow. Therefore 2012 is a strong Water year.

Dragon is a legendary animal and it is symbol of emperor in China. Since the Dragon is coated with mysterious color, Chinese consider that the dragon is unpredictable, untouchable and people cannot see its head and tail at the same time. Therefore, we can might see something unexpected happening in 2012. Also a person with too many dragons in the Chinese astrology birth chart will become smarter, sly and unpredictable in the coming year.

2010 was the Year of White Tiger and is the beginning year of the Wood cycle. 2011 was the Year of White Rabbit and is the middle year of the Wood cycle. The Dragon of 2012 is the last year of the Wood cycle. Dragon is the transition year to the Fire Cycle. The energy of Wood is in the East side. The energy of Fire is in the South side. We never know what will happen when turning from East to South. That's another sign of unpredictable Dragon year. You can have either good luck or bad luck in 2012, and will have a chance to turn it into better or worse luck.

Before predicting your luck in 2012, you have to know what Type of Element you are and what your Lucky Element is from your astrology birth chart. The Lucky Element is the major factor to determine people's fortune. 2012 is the Year of Black Water Dragon, which contains Earth, Water and Wood. If your Lucky Element is Earth, Water or Wood, then 2012 will bring you some degree of luck. Since 2012 is Water Dragon, people whose lucky element is Water will benefit more in 2012. Fire is the opposite element of Water. People whose lucky element is Fire will have more impact in 2012.

For more details and an accurate prediction, the first step to knowing your fortune is know what animals are in your birth chart. You can find that information from the Chinese Astrology Lucky Element page using your birthday and birth time.

2012 is Male Water Dragon year. Dragon contains Earth, Water and Wood. Dragon and Rat in the Year Column have attraction relationship into Water. That means Water is pretty strong in 2012. Day Master Fire is afraid of Water. Water brings the pressure on the Day Master Fire. This baby is about 4 year old. Therefore, it should be watched for the health.

Water is also related to jobs and/or career. If this person was born on June 30, 1948, then this person should have a good career opportunity in 2012. However, Male Water of 2012 and Day Master Fire have a fighting relationship. Also, Dragon and the Dog in the Day Column have another fighting relationship. This implies a family, health or marriage issue will appear in 2012.

2012 is the Water Dragon year. Dragon contains Earth. People whose Earth score is low will receive benefits from Dragon. Dragon also contains Water. 2012 will bring good luck for people whose Lucky Element is Water. Dragon is the last year of the Wood cycle. Dragon carries the Wood energy from Rabbit of 2011. If you did very well in 2011 and your Lucky Element is Wood, then your luck will most likely continue during the year of Dragon.

year . If your birth chart contains Female Fire , then your social relationship with people will be good. If Female Fire is your Day Master and you are a female, then it's possible that a love relationship, engagement or marriage will come to you in 2012.

Female Metal and Male Fire have a Stem Attraction Relationship into Wood. Dragon also contains Wood, therefore, if Wood is your lucky element, then 2012 will be a very good year to you.

Chicken and Dragon have a Branch Attraction Relationship into Metal. If Chicken is in your birth chart, then your people relationship will be good. If Metal is also your lucky element, then you will do well in social activities. Chicken is also the Romantic Star of Dragon. If you are looking for love, then you will have a very good opportunity to find someone you like. If you already have a lover, then we will have a closer relationship. If Chicken is in the Day Column of the birth chart, then you might think about marriage in 2012.

If both Dragon and Rabbit are in the birth chart, then they will gather and enforce the strength of Wood. Because Water of 2012 is the supporting element of Wood, people with lucky element Wood can receive the benefit from Water Dragon. If Tiger also appears in the birth chart or current 10-Year Major Cycle, then the three of them form the strongest Wood combination. That means this will be a wonderful year for people whose luck element is Wood. The best month of the year will be the Tiger month and Rabbit month.

If both Rat and Monkey are in the birth chart, then they will join with Dragon to form a very powerful Water combination. That means Water lucky element people will have a big surprise year. If Water represents your Money Star, then you will see your wealth grow in 2012. But if Water is the unlucky element, then watch your money, otherwise the debt will be waiting for you.

Dragon is also called Water Dam in the Chinese astrology. If only Rat appears in the birth chart of current 10-year Major Cycle without Monkey, then Rat and Dragon are still can build a strong Water. People whose Lucky Element is Water can expect good people relationships and good luck in 2012, especially in the month of Monkey, which is in August.

Dog and Dragon have a Fighting Relationship, which implies poor people relationship. If the Male Fire Dog or Male Earth Dog in the Year Column or Day Column of the birth chart, then this is the case of a Double Stem-Branch Fighting Relationship. This is a bad sign of instability, accident, separation, dispute, hostility and poor health. These type of people should use a conservative attitude and approach to avoid any dispute, quarrel and challenges in 2012.

Tiger is the Travel Star to Dragon . People whose birth chart contains a Tiger may wish for outdoor activities, either for business trips or for a long distant vacation. It also implies something will keep turning your mind around.

When Dragon meets Dragon , they have a Self-Hurting Relationship, which can disturb people's emotions, judgment, and decision. People might become suspicious and stubborn. When things go wrong, then they will blame themselves. Traditionally, Double Dragons (one dragon in the Year Column or Day Column of the birth chart, one in year 2012) is a bad sign for their yearly luck. This is because the Chinese dragon is untouchable and unpredictable. A person with too many dragons is unpredictable too and becomes somewhat sly. If the forecast is unpredictable, then it won't be a good year.

However, according to Chinese Five Element astrology, Double Dragons should form a strong Earth. Earth implies steadiness or stillness. Earth people minds are kind of inflexible. They always have the basic instinct to keep their promise. If Earth is their Lucky Element, then Earth people should do well in 2012.
